AdBlue Contamination

All over Lewisham we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Lea Bridge - Lea Bridge Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set out to help a new family on vacation in Lea Bridge. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their MINI, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Lewisham and that it is nothing to worry about, however he still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
